Under the program students connected with other classes through a Virtual Classroom and engaged in a range of learning activities, including:

exchanging real-life postcards with other participating classes
selecting and photographing a special place (landmark/feature/building/story) in their local area
writing a persuasive text about their chosen place or story and why it should be included in a travel itinerary
blogging about their class, local area and chosen place/story
visiting all classes' chosen places/stories through a Google Earth trip
connecting with other classes through iConnect a web conference in Wrap Up week.
The project supported students to model and practise writing persuasive arguments.

These students were sent around to other groups who were seeking assistance. These students were then able to help guide and assist others.

The whole class set about deciding on the 8 builds to be included. Votes were counted in the end to decide on the final 8 builds.
Smaller work teams of 3-4 members were allocated (random draw) a build area. These teams set about building their set task. Each member during the build process would allocate different jobs and check in with team mates as to progress and design. If required teams would vote on most popular elements to be included.
Time frames were set and tasks reallocated with support when required to ensure the whole team worked together to complete the task and build requirements.
After class discussion a final 'polishing crew' was selected to complete a final once over the entire village prepping for final release. Polishing crew members checked in as required to original areas team members if unsure of elements and designs needing any changes.

At the next meeting they compared their results to decide which format they would all go to to decide what would be their story board.  Over four weeks they played, critiqued and made notes on the things they liked and didn't like as well as storyboard ideas.

Students posted issues (often with screen shots or attachments) and other students with more or different strengths in that area gave suggestions for troubleshooting. https://padlet.com/j_zagami/b31ls4cwhg3e/wish/122621551 2016-09-09 00:34:55 UTC https://padlet.com/j_zagami/b31ls4cwhg3e/wish/122621551 Year 7 English mjens118 https://padlet.com/j_zagami/b31ls4cwhg3e/wish/122621678 Students used Virtual Classrooms to collaborate on their assessment for this term using blogs and wikis]]> 2016-09-09 00:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/j_zagami/b31ls4cwhg3e/wish/122621678 Market Day https://padlet.com/j_zagami/b31ls4cwhg3e/wish/122637392 2016-09-09 03:13:14 UTC https://padlet.com/j_zagami/b31ls4cwhg3e/wish/122637392 Market Day - 7/8/9 Imagine Program https://padlet.com/j_zagami/b31ls4cwhg3e/wish/122637393 Students created and designed a product/service in teams to be sold in the school community and to invited guests. students were expected to communicate and collaborate on tasks and their role within the team.

They organised themselves into small groups (3 or 4 members) which provided positive interdependence and simultaneous face-to-face interaction among students in teams. Their PBL was to work collaboratively around a STEM related activity, facilitated by USQ students who provided lego kits (motor, batteries included). The task was to work collaboratively through designing and creating (problem solving) a machine capable of load bearing. This involved application of multiple level thinking skills, common team goals, engagement for all, contributing, listening, responding, sharing, encouraging, providing feedback before the evaluative process of measurable student products and performance through tug-of-war between paired team machines. This PBL evidenced win-win participation and a positive schooling experience for all with much laughter and celebrating as teams progressed through to a 'Grand Champion'.]]> 2016-09-29 04:59:29 UTC https://padlet.com/j_zagami/b31ls4cwhg3e/wish/127151685 Year 6 ICT https://padlet.com/j_zagami/b31ls4cwhg3e/wish/169640336 In this project a group of two students were asked to create an animation using lego movie maker as their assignment piece to show what they had learnt. This task involved problem solving techniques, computational thinking, creative and critical thinking skills, project management/ IPBL. The two group members had to decide together the topic and purpose of their movie, organise the materials needed to film, have access to an ipad to take the footage/photos and maintain responsibility and contribution to the task. The teacher had organised the basic materials and Ipad's and content knowledge to the students and checked up on them each day documenting their individual and group progress, asked about any issues they may have experienced. These students were expected to communicate cooperatively with one another in order for the desired project result. In the end result the students overcame their issues and displayed the lifecycle of a caterpillar on lego movie maker to the class with much laughter of some of their creations in the photos presented and the audiences amazement showed the two students how great their project was. This shows effective project collaboration management.]]> 2017-05-03 11:13:03 UTC https://padlet.com/j_zagami/b31ls4cwhg3e/wish/169640336
